Chibi Tea

Last updated 2026-11-10 — [Tea] Tea picking in Chibi boasts a history of over 5,000 years. It was first cultivated by Taoist priests and hermits during the Han Dynasty, and by the Three Kingdoms period under the Eastern Wu regime, tea had entered the imperial court. The story of “using tea instead of wine” originated in Chibi. During the Tang Dynasty, Maohe tea began to be exported to Central Asia and South Asia, while in the Song Dynasty, Chibi tea bricks were involved in the national “tea-for-horse trade.” From the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the early years of the Republic of China, Chibi tea bricks, green tea, and black tea dominated the international market. In recent years, Chibi has vigorously developed eco-friendly beverages, with tea plantations being upgraded and chemical fertilizers and pesticides eliminated, making Chibi tea a truly green beverage.
